CSB502SSD Multi-Function Solid State Drive shield for Raspberry Pi 2

CSB502SSD Multi-Function Solid State Drive Shield for Raspberry Pi 2

Pi 2 Design is ready to introduce a new line of Embedded and Media-based I/O shields for the Raspberry Pi 2. Coupled with the high-performance Raspberry Pi 2 with Quad Core Cortex-A7 CPU, the CSB502SSD Multi-Function Solid State Drive shield allows users to create a high performance, low cost and embedded network storage device.

This powerful combination of the CSB502SSD and the Raspberry Pi 2 lets you leverage the Raspberry Pi 2 ecosystem for a wide variety of Embedded, Data Storage, Medical and Industrial applications.

In addition to the 1TB SSD, the CSB502SSDprovides key functionality to the Raspberry PI 2. Which includes: 802.11b/g/n Wifi w/Soft-AP Mode support, Dual USB 2.0 with 1A power, On-Board wide-input (8V-24V) power supply delivers 20W (5V @ 4A) of power to all peripherals and the Raspberry PI 2, Battery backed RTC. It also includes the Temperature Sensor with 64-bit ID allows the CSB502SSD to monitor the health of the SSD and provide a unique asset tag.

Please note that we’ve increased the power supply to 50W (5V@10A) based on feedback. This will allow the CSB502SSD to power the Pi, it’s USB, the CSB502SSD (including it’s two 1.5A USB), plus up to 4A for additional stacked shields such as our upcoming CSB502V2S HDMI to 8-Channel Audio.

We’ve also added a 5-pin header to power the new Pi Foundation 7″ display.

Shipping will still happen in January for the early early birds and February for early birds.
